Can you drink red wine while taking antibiotics?

It's important to consult with your doctor or pharmacist before mixing any medication, including antibiotics, with alcohol.

Some antibiotics can interact with alcohol, leading to:

* Increased side effects: Like nausea, dizziness, or headaches.

* Reduced effectiveness of the antibiotic: Making your infection harder to treat.

Even if your specific antibiotic isn't known to interact with alcohol, it's best to be cautious. Alcohol can weaken your immune system, making you more susceptible to complications from your infection.

Always follow your doctor's instructions and ask them directly if you have questions about alcohol consumption while taking antibiotics.
